In response to the heartburn question. I have found that TUMS works well
plus has the added benefit of Calcium. Regarding the baking soda, while it
may be effective it has a lot of sodium and in preeclamptic Moms can be a
problem.

Thanks for checking on that, Todd. I tried a generic form of Zantac last
night
and that worked well.

You are welcome, Leslie. I'm glad Alfred R Sherry RN DC DABCO thought to
post to chiro-list.

Somebody please tell me what the strongest, most effective heartburn medication
that is safe to take during pregnancy is! I felt like there was a fire coming
up my throat all night last night!

I'm sorry I missed this Leslie.

((HUGS))

I've had horrible heartburn in my last few pregnancies. I'll spare you
the gory details.
Pepcid AC was approved by my midwife and worked well for me (all the
usual home remedies didn't help). I know Zantac is also fine.

Feel better soon!

Thanks, Karen. :-) I ended up with the Zantac and have found it works like a
charm!

Leslie,

I guess the apple and dried papaya didn't work eh?

I think my wife Jennifer is a week behind you, she's 37 weeks and 5 days
today.

Oh, they may well have. But Walgreens is closer to my house than either the
grocery or the health food store. :-)
